Trump’s Rocker Nemesis Boosts Major Legal Fight Against Him

Springsteen authorized 'Born in the U.S.A.' for the ACLU's national ad opposing Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship, which affects 5 million children, the group said.

  • Ahead of April 1, Bruce Springsteen gave the ACLU permission to soundtrack a 30-second ad with 'Born in the U.S.A.' for the Supreme Court case.
  • President Donald Trump signed a Jan. 2025 executive order to end birthright citizenship, prompting the American Civil Liberties Union to sue within two hours in Trump v. Barbara, which lower courts blocked before reaching the U.S. Supreme Court.
  • The ACLU said 'The Constitution, not the president, decides who is a citizen,' and the ad will run on broadcasts and digital platforms including Major League Baseball opening day, Survivor and The Voice.
  • If upheld, the order would affect five million children and hundreds of thousands of families by repealing the 14th Amendment, making Trump v. Barbara one of the most consequential cases in a century.
  • Springsteen, who sold his catalog to Sony for $500 million in 2021, granted the American Civil Liberties Union permission to use the 1984 track reimagined against the constitutional change.
